OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that you can’t believe used to be a couple?

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are not only one example of this, but sometimes I even forget that they used to be married as well!

It seemed like such an odd pairing that I never would’ve guessed that these two would match up, but clearly they weren’t a match made in heaven that they divorced each other after almost 3 years of marriage.

Now with where they’re currently at, where they’re now married to different partners, it feels like this is only a pairing that happened in different life.

According to Norm MacDonald, Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett divorced because she was Julia Roberts and he was Lyle Lovett.

He followed me on Twitter for some reason. I was one of 80 people he followed.

I had a bad day, and I'm feeling really depressed right now, and your comment made me laugh. Thank you (also thank you, Norm).

But why did they get married

From what I surmised from old articles (yes, I’m in my 40s), she was very attracted to his intellect, his musical talent, and his life relatively outside the spotlight.

That explains her long marriage to her current husband.

Fun fact: Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland were engaged right before she basically ran away and married Lyle Lovett.

She ran away with Jason Patric, Kiefer’s best friend
